Where a parking facility does not abut a public or private street, alley, or access easement there shall be provided an access drive of not less than ten (10) to twelve (12) feet in width. In the case of single-family and duplex structures tandem parking may only be permitted when all required off-street parking spaces are situated behind the front yard and corner street side-yard setback areas.

Pavement. The parking area, aisles, and access drives shall be paved so as to provide a durable, dustless surface and shall be so graded and drained as to dispose of surface water without damage to private or public properties, streets or alleys. Such pavement shall be two (2) inches of asphalt pavement, or shall provide equivalent service and protection.
